Oracle OpenWorld has taken over SF for their annual conference and they’re putting on free concerts for convention pass holders.

How to watch/hear the concerts for free:
The main area in front of the stage is reserved for OpenWorld convention pass holders, but there should be plenty of places where you can still hear (and maybe even see) the show for free outside of the gates near the “Oracle Plaza” along Howard Street between 3rd and 4th streets.

From 7-9 pm on Tuesday, September 30, 2014, Los Angeles indie electro unit Capital Cities will play a show at Oracle Plaza at Howard Street.

Capital Cities first came together as the duo of composers/songwriters Ryan Merchant and Sebu Simonian. The two initially met on Craigslist in 2008 and worked as jingle writers until they formed the band in 2010. They released an independent EP in 2011 that included the song “Safe and Sound,” an upbeat mesh of programming and melody that went viral and gained the act significant internet exposure. Eventually, Merchant and Simonian were joined by bassist Manny Quintero, trumpeter Spencer Ludwig, guitarist Nick Merwin, and drummer Channing Holmes. The fully realized live version of Capital Cities has played international festivals. Their debut full-length album In a Tidal Wave of Mystery was released by Capitol Records / Lazy Hooks in June 2013.
